Other Useful Information

You must be cleared from Financial Aid and/or Student Accounts and resolve holds before coming to campus to prevent any inconveniences. Additionally, if you are not registered for classes, you will not be able to check into housing and must resolve your registration issues before obtaining a key for campus housing.

The Dining Hall will be open beginning Thursday, August 15 and hours will be posted and distributed at move-in for the first week.
